I just rewrote my personal website ( https://anonyfox.com ) to become statically generated (zola, runs via github Action) so the result is just plain and speedy HTML. I even used a minimal classless „css framework“ and ontop I am hosting everything via cloudflare workers sites, so visitors should get served right from CDN edge locations. No JS or tracking included.
As snappy as I could imagine, and I hope that this will make a perceived difference for visitors.
While average internet speed might increase, I still saw plenty of people browsing websites primarily on their phone, with bad cellular connections indoor or via a shared WiFi spot, and it was painful to watch. Hence, my rewrite (still ongoing).
Do fellow HNers also feel the „need for speed“ nowadays?
